According to Eminem's longtime mentor Dr. Dre, Slim Shady is just about wrapped up with his 8th studio album!

Yes! Yes! YES!!!

Shady Records president, Paul Rosenberg previously confirmed that the Detroit rapper would be dropping a new album this year, but for some reason it sounds better coming from the legendary hip-hop producer!

But wait, there's more!

Apparently Dre is dusting off the cobwebs and getting back to work himself, saying:

"I've just got inspired again to go back into the studio. I'm just really having fun with life and having fun with being creative and trying new and different things with myself, just trying to stay active."

While this is definitely exciting news, we're remaining cautiously optimistic. Probably because we've been waiting for new album for more than 10 YEARS!!! Either Dre is a master of suspense, or we're never going to see Detox!

Shane Redway -- a Canadian rapper and close friend of Drake's -- was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. He was just 26 years old.

Redway and two others were killed when their car lost control, struck a guardrail and burst into flames. The crash occurred around 4am outside Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It's unclear who was behind the wheel. Police are investigating the crash.

Drake took to Instagram to remember Redway, posting two different tributes.
